Event Details

**Please NOTE this edition of the course will be held in the newly refurbished Wolfson Centre, on Mecklenburgh SquareNOT in the main Institute of Child Health building on Guilford St. Mecklenburgh Square and the Wolfson Centre can be accessed via Guilford St or Heathcote St, as shown on the map, but there is no access through Corams Field Nursery.

Overview

This course is suitable for all those wishing to improve their knowledge about the anatomy of the heart and in particular congenital heart malformations. Knowledge will be built up from Day 1 (normal anatomy and simple lesions) to more complex topics on Day 2/3. It is suitable for a wide range of disciplines.

Aims & Objectives

The aim of this three day course is to allow for small group discussion, in an informal setting, of important groups of congenital lesions by both didactic lectures and hands-on examination of specimens.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, participants should be comfortable with the anatomy of the major groups of congenital heart lesions and be able to analyse hearts in a sequential segmental fashion.

This course is run regularly throughout the year (every 6 weeks or so).

So if the course you have requested is full please look for other dates, or else add your name to the waitlist.

For delegates with a very basic knowledge of cardiac anatomy it is recommended that you attend from Day 1. You may also find it useful to visit our website www.cardiacmorphology.com to preview the hands-on course videos.

You are welcome to bring whatever you like to the course. Video recording and photography is not allowed and food and drinks are not permitted in the lecture rooms for Health & Safety reasons.

He has an international reputation for providing education, training and expertise in the structural architecture of the heart including major textbooks on surgical anatomy of the heart and fetal cardiology. He is founder of the website www.cardiacmorphology.com and advises companies on anatomy for device design and simulation.

During this work he has developed specific expertise in correlating cardiac structure with imaging from fetus to adult. Current areas of research are: micro-imaging cardiac architecture using micro-computed tomography and phase-contrast synchrotron imaging; and deep-phenotyping of heart defects in mutant mouse embryos using high throughput, high-resolution 3D imaging (www.dmdd.org.uk)
